Hello, i am conducting a health report for a psychological assignment, this report is based on the reduction of risk in contracting hiv in a prison setting. Unfortunately after reading a fair amount of journals I am quite confused in which Social Cognitive model within health psychology would be most effective ? If anyone can offer any advice it would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou..
Hi Rachel,
A difficult question to answer without a bit more context. By the way, Grimsby used to be quite a haunt of mine when I lived in Boston (UK) many moons ago before arriving in New Zealand and Australia. Louth, Grimsby, Scunthorpe etc were regular trips for me - and I lived near Hull for a umber years. Anyway - there are a number of seminal social-cognitive models that might fit the bill - it depends what you want them to do in relation to HIV and the prison setting. The attached articles might assist. They are nursing-related - but the principles are generic.
Morning Dean,
I am currently completing my final level of my pauchologicak degree and we have been instructed to write a report that includes two types of social cognitive models within healyh psychology and choose a subject. My report is a recommendation of which social cognitive model will help reduce the transmission of hiv within the prison system but I am attempting to try and use one model that will help reduce injective drug users and high risk sexual behaviour as I believe these are the two main course of actions that spreads the disease within the incarcerated population.
I did did find the information-motivation-behaviour skills model but not 100% sure if it falls into the social cognitive bracket.
That statement just shows how small the world really is :) Grimsby isn’t such a bad place really.
Thankyou for the articles.
